The news comes following reports on Bitmob that Conduit 2 developer High Voltage was told by Nintendo not to use Wii Speak in its upcoming game. Instead, the firm is using third party Headbanger headset for its multiplayer modes that utilise online chat.

Wii Speak went on sale in the UK in December 2008. It is compatible with a handful of games including The Conduit, NHL 2K10 and Monster Hunter Tri.
